3. Protect the skin against the oxidizing effects of free radicals


BioActive X3 Complex offers protection from free radicals and environmental stressors.


BioActive X3 Complex demonstrates significantly higher antioxidant activities compared to green tea and other cosmetic ingredients.

DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl): A stable free radical ideal for antioxidant studies because it is prevalent and independent from sample polarity.
SOD (superoxide dismutase): An enzyme produced in the body that provides antioxidant defense against superoxide. Superoxide is a natural byproduct of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). SOD protects the cells from superoxide toxicity through antioxidant activity.

Mangosteen Water

Glimpse™ formulas do not begin with regular water. Glimpse formulas begin with a unique, one-of-a-kind, mangosteen-infused water. This process entails steeping (like a tea bag in water) mangosteen pericarp powder into USP grade purified water. This allows for the transfer of mangosteen’s powerful phytonutrients into the first ingredient and base of each formula. Each step in making Glimpse involves the meticulous use of time-honored techniques combined with modern science.

Traditional use of the mangosteen in Southeast Asia over the past several centuries refers to the mangosteen pericarp being steeped in water and blended overnight into a tea. This tea was then sipped to nourish internally, as well as applied externally to nourish the skin. Honoring this tradition, Glimpse steeps the mangosteen pericarp in 100% pure water, forming a nutrient-dense mangosteen water base. Exclusive to Glimpse, this mangosteen water base amplifies the overall phytonutrient benefits of the fruit and acts as a nutrient-rich courier that when fused with the BioActive X³ Complex™, helps to significantly enhance skin nutrition.

Cold processing during the formulation of Glimpse further protects the integrity of the formulation, preserving the natural potency of the mangosteen’s many phytonutrients.

The mangosteen-infused water has been shown in third party in-vitro analysis to host concentrated amounts of xanthones, proanthocyanidins, catechins and other vital phytonutrients.^* You can enjoy optimal skin benefits from mangosteen with mangosteen-infused water.

Kindsay Johnson testimonial

I was fortunate through my teenage years not to have bad acne. But as soon as I was pregnant with my first child
I developed what I have always called my stress bumps on my forehead. Stressed or not, they never went away. 8
years of trying product after product. Trying different treatments and procedures, but unfortunately some
products and treatments left me worse off than I was before. My skin would never completely clear up. I have
been using Glimpse since the end of August 2008 and am more than thrilled with the results.
I haven't seen any bumps on my forehead in 2 months, and my skin was completely cleared up within two weeks.
And the best part is it's healthier for me.

Brenda Cook testimonial

My name is Brenda Cook and I live in Toronto Canada. I was looking forward to using Glimpse just for the health reasons. But when Grace published her hyper pigmentation results, I became excited to think my severely hyper pigmented neck might get results! So I took my before shots on October 18th outside when we were walking at the Children's Wish Parade...XanGo was title sponsor this year. My after shots were taken at the 30 day mark after using Glimpse! I have read that the skin repairs itself from the base up over 52-72 days....after just 30 days I am very pleased with the results so far. I had tried dermabrasion to no avail, and Glimpse has not only faded the hyper pigmentation but has made the skin go from being rough (I called it turkey skin) to very smooth & soft! I can't wait to see what transpires in the next 30 days! ~ Brenda

Art Ross testimonial

On October 21, 2008, I saw my dermatologist and I was diagnosed with pre-cancerous lesions on my face and left ear. They took 3 biopsies, and I tested positive on 2 of them: my left ear and the tip of my nose. Connie convinced me to try the Glimpse Serum on a biopsy on my forehead, and in one application it showed much improvement. So, on the 29th of October I started using the 4-step program with Glimpse, only in the morning for the first 4 weeks, and the 5th week I used it morning and night. Most of the redness on my face is gone, along with most of the red and blue veins that showed on the surface of my 77-year old face. At this time I am very pleased with the results. I just hope that my scheduled January 17 appointment for Moh's surgery can be cancelled! Art Ross Rochester, MN
